Main weather system to move over our area tonight...
Courtesy of the National Weather Service in Fort Worth Texas:
555 PM CST SAT NOV 24 2007
...COLD RAIN AND LIGHT WINTRY MIX TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY...
AN APPROACHING STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN AND POSSIBLY SOME LIGHT MIXED WINTRY PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND INTO EARLY SUNDAY. THE COLD AIR WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WITH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO REMAIN STEADY IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE FORM OF A COLD RAIN...BUT SOME LIGHT SNOW OR SLEET MAY BE INTERMITTENTLY MIXED IN WITH THE RAIN...ESPECIALLY FROM COMANCHE TO FORT WORTH TO SHERMAN. SNOW OR SLEET ACCUMULATIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED AS WARMER GROUND TEMPERATURES WILL ALLOW THE PRECIPITATION TO MELT.
FARTHER NORTH AND WEST...IT WILL BE COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW AND SLEET TO ACCUMULATE. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR EASTLAND...
STEPHENS...PALO PINTO...JACK AND YOUNG COUNTIES FOR TONIGHT.
TRAVEL CONDITIONS WILL BE WORSE ACROSS WEST TEXAS...FROM ABILENE WESTWARD WHERE HEAVY SNOW WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. AS MUCH AS
3 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
TRAVEL TO THESE LOCATIONS WILL BE DANGEROUS AS ROADS WILL LIKELY BE SLICK FROM ICE AND SNOW.
ALL HOLIDAY TRAVELERS SHOULD SHOULD CAUTION WHEN DRIVING ON WET AND CONGESTED ROADWAYS. THOSE TRAVELING TO WEST TEXAS TONIGHT AND SUNDAY MAY ENCOUNTER SIGNIFICANT SNOW AND ICE...MAKING FOR DANGEROUS ROAD CONDITIONS. RESIDENTS SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR LOCAL FORECASTS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE VIA NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR THE INTERNET FOR THE LATEST UPDATES.
